The first time the surname Xuvella was mentioned was in a document dated 1642 (2nd February), Blato - Blatta.

Note: According to family tradition of the Zuvela's, the family came from France. This is the only bit of information that has been passed down concerning the Zuvela's family origins. Peter Z. 03:23, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

  • The most extensive migrations to these islands occurred during the Cypriote (1571-1573), Candian (1645-1669), and Morean wars (1684-1699) (between Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire).

Venetian language

“ NOTE: It is universally accepted that the Vènet language needs distinct symbols for the sound of the letter S (as s in English sun) and the sound of the letter X (as z in English zone). There are too many words that require this distinction.

For example, rusàre (to rash, to get rashed) and ruxàre (to prowl), sa (if, or short for what) and xa (already), sìxo£a (type of gardening scythe) and xìxo£a (stinging cold, or hard strike), sugàre (to dry up) and xugàre (to play), sarà (closed) and xara (pitcher). However, not everyone adopts the letter X to represent this sound (mostly because it is used for a different sound in other languages: "ks"), and quite a few writers opt to use the letter Z instead. The letter X is anyhow the preferred graphical representation, not only because the letter Z is already used for another sound, and therefore to avoid confusion. But also because this is the letter historically used to represent this sound. Although it was not used all the times (even by the same authors) it has been constantly present for centuries.

It has also been suggested to substitute the letter X with the letter S, when before another consonant. The reason being that it is widely known what to pronounce (X in front of B, D, G, L, M, N, Ñ, R, V; and S in front of C, F, P. T). There are some exception, however: slòsa (transportation vehicle) and xlòso (rotten, broken). For simplicity and clarity, it is recomended to always distinguish between X and S.

The letter X is also used in the diagraph XH (as J in French Jardin ). As with SH, this pronunciation is ONLY present in the ladino-vènet dialect. See the Vèneto Arkìvio for the appropriate graphical representation. For example, xhal (rooster).

Croatian language

“ The grapheme Ž (minuscule: ž) is formed from Latin Z with the addition of caron (Czech: háček). It is used in various contexts, usually denoting the voiced postalveolar fricative, a sound similar to English g in genre, or Portuguese and French j. In the International Phonetic Alphabet this sound is denoted with [ʒ], but the lowercase ž is used in the Americanist phonetic notation, as well as in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet. In addition, ž is used as the romanisation of Cyrillic ж in ISO 9 and scientific transliteration. ”

Zh=Ž

French j=Ž
